- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 star anise pod
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 star anise pod over medium-low heat; simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and star anise aroma infuses the glaze.
